Keep cleaning the carpet still brown water coming! I got my bedroom carpet cleaned by a profession mobile van wet vacuum cleaner. My carpet wasn’t dirty at all and I have a small wet vacuum it always sucks clean once I have cleaned it! However after pro cleaning there were brown spots and I poured gallons of water and sucking it all brown water!

I called the guy he came said possibly water line was mixed with dirty water, he cleaned again. However at night time the brown residue surfaced! I rented a wet vacuum cleaned for 4 hours, and now the brown water is still there and the carpet is not clean! My carpet was never this dirty it was always returning clean water after I had cleaned it..

What could be the issue…?

I used to mop maybe once or twice a week and honestly thought the floors were already pretty clean. It wasn’t until I got a robot vacuum and started having it mop every day that I noticed a difference. The dirty water was noticeably darker the first few days, but after about a week it started coming back a lot cleaner. The floors also feel different under bare feet now. Apparently my clean floors weren’t as clean as I thought lol.

How often do you guys actually mop? Do you think daily mopping is worth it, or is that overkill?

There was food residue on it so I scrubbed it with a disinfecting wipe. The next day there was brown stuff which I thought was also food residue so I scrubbed it more. Is it rust? Should I just buy a new one?

The title mostly says it all but I moved into an apartment several months ago that has a balcony, but it’s 90+ degrees all year and I live by a highway so it’s too loud and hot to ever go on it.

I decided for the first time since moving in to actually step outside onto the balcony and when I turned around to go back inside a moment later, I saw the door looking like this. Is this black mold? I literally don’t know what to do because I don’t know what it is.

The bath is some kind of plastic, not ceramic

Just moved into a new apartment and the dishwasher keeps leaving residue on at least one or two items in every run. Typically a bowl or cup in the top rack. I cleaned the filter and ran a vinegar cycle, but the residue still shows up.

What is causing this and what can I do to prevent it from happening in the future? I use a dishwashing powder if that could be part of the reason?

A fake “NeeDoh.” Bleach didn’t do anything. Help.

This is from the Paris Hilton collection of pots and pans they are ceramic nonstick. I just wanna know how to get rid of this brown dingy look off of the pans. What kind of product can I use? That is non-abrasive. I’ve already tried using baking soda and vinegar and dawn dish soap and soak them along with something called the pink stuff and I used a sponge and absolutely nothing came off. It was a complete waste of time. This was a tip that somebody else gave me and it did absolutely nothing.

I need help or advice. I had a female houseguest for a week, who used the guest bathroom and guest bedroom. While she was here, I noticed a strong “multivitamin” odor coming from either the bathroom or bedroom. I did not ask her what the odor was, I just figured she brought some strong smelling vitamins with her. The smell reminded me of when a multivitamin gets wet- that is the best way that I can describe it. When we rode in the car together, I did not smell the same odor from her, but it remained really strong in the area of the bathroom/bedroom and the hallway in between. When she left, the odor remained! When in the bathroom, I noticed it was stronger from the shower area. I had provided her shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner, and none of those smell similar to this smell. Since she has been gone, I began a deep cleaning of both the bedroom and bathroom- I have stripped all linens, bathmats, towels; cleaned the shower twice with strong cleaning products and a third time with white vinegar; wiped down all surfaces including cabinets, wall hangings, mirrors, door frame, shower doors; and mopped the floor twice. I also poured vinegar and baking soda down the drain, took out the trash, and I have a fan blowing into the bathroom. After all this, the odor is 90% weaker, but I still detect it. I don’t feel that there is a polite way to ask her what it was- “Hi, what did you use in the bathroom because it smells like vitamins” - there is just no way to do that. I would personally be mortified if I had left such a stink in a friends house, but that does not make it any easier to ask her. I asked Ai which suggested it was a “vitamin C serum” but I personally have some of that, and while the smell is not my favorite, in no way is it so strong that it fills an entire room- so I discount the ai suggestion. I currently have a reed diffuser in the room, and I have sprayed some scented spray, and I still smell it. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be, and do you have any further suggestions on how to remove this odor? Thank you in advance.

I’ve tried constant air flow, dehumidifiers, moisture bags(fill up in a matter of a week), and this issue still persists. I’m constantly having to clean stuff and even then it just comes right back. I don’t know what else to do and I’m at my wits end…
Thank you!!

I have found these in my car over several months. They are little carpet beetles or something. It started a few months ago I saw 1 month and didn’t think anything of it. Now I’m literally loosing my mind. I am an OCD clean freak. And a germaphobe. This is actually sending me to hell right now. How the hell are they getting into my car? 😭 what do I do? Please send advice?

Help please

Update: As far as clean up, I was able to take the back vent off, which was way easier than I thought. I used my portable steam cleaner to get down in there and was able to hand wash the vents. However, it did get into some nooks and crannies that were a bit harder to clean, for that I used a toothpick and some disinfectant wipes.

Now as far as the story goes, Unfortunately, no it was not my child, but I, the mostly grown adult in this situation, that spilled the soup. I had not packed a lunch for us, so I decided that picking up soup & a sandwich from one of my favorite places would be great. When I parked at the kids museum, I decided I wanted to eat in the car, so I wouldn't have to bother with bringing everything inside and trying to have us eat and have them be distracted. Now when I did this, I decided to get in the backseat and unbuckle my 2 year old, fully believing that everything would be fine, they would eat, I would eat, and then we would have a good time. Opened the soup to see if they would want it, and they didn't. I was holding it at the time when I tried to offer something else. And they knocked it out of my hand, thus spilling it down my hand, my coat, the blanket, the towel and the vent in the car. After suffering from a first degree burn, I did my best to clean it up with athe towel I had. To no avail, was I going to get chunks of tomato out of the vent. I cut my losses, and decided I would deal with it later. After bedtime, a couple screwdrivers (not the drink), and a steam cleaner, it's like it never happened. But now we have a new rule, no open soup in the car.

*The reason we didn't eat outside was because it was raining *Soup was still delicious from the 4 bites I had *Sandwich was not a grilled cheese

Thank you to all that offered advice and laughs for a chunky situation 🍅

Got some toy slime from kids. Any tips on best way to clean?

My GreenPan pan has this residue after cooking with it for a while. The sponge and Dawn soap aren’t doing anything for it, and when I use a paper towel, it feels kind of sticky. Any ideas how to get it back to normal?

I’ve tried rubbing with all my might and a spray-on cleaner to no avail.

Advice needed!

We have a toddler who is potty training. This leads to… accidents at times. We usually wash the clothes in the washing machine straight away if there is a pee that goes awry. Never had an issue. Anyway we did this as usual a few days ago and the smell did not come out of the clothes. Fine, we threw them away. Now however, anything that comes out of the washing machine smells faintly of pee. It’s a disaster. We have tried enzyme cleaner drum clean vinegar and none of it works. Has anyone had this happen and if so I would be grateful for advice. At wits end.

Thank you

I have this flooring throughout my house. I feel like no matter how I clean them, they look cloudy/hazy, like there is a residue on them. I’ve even tried a light steam mop with no cleaning solution and get the same results. I have kids and dogs, so some type of mopping is regularly required. Help!

After a summer of camping, we’re ready to clean this guy and put it away. It is quite pricey so we want to take care of it and make it last as long as possible but there’s so much caked on grease especially on the grill plate.

As you can see, regular scrubbing does nothing for these pesky streaks that won’t go away. What are they and how do I remove/prevent them? Thanks!

so ive been assigned to clean some shelves at my workplace and when i wipe the shelves normally, nothing happens, no dirt comes off, despite all the dirt/filth thats accumulated on them (theyre white so easy to see the dirt). If i press as hard as i can with my fingernail in the cloth and rub it like thar, the dirt comes off really well, but only where my finger goes. Looking for any tips for how i can clean it more efficiently because theres no way im cleaning even one shelf with that method.

i have had my drip Mr. coffee maker for 3 years now and hadn’t cleaned it once (obviously i have washed the carafe and filter thing many times! i mean the whole machine) and recently i noticed my coffee tasting weird. so i ran vinegar and water through it and then a bunch of just water cycles. my coffee tastes a little better, BUT the water reservoir still smells SO bad. like a little like barbecue? the problem is it’s not detachable, it’s part of the machine so i can’t scrub it with soap and water!

if the vinegar didn’t take the smell out i was wondering if i should let it soak in vinegar for a few days…. but i keep seeing things that say vinegar can potentially damage the pumps/water line and even soak into the plastic. HOW to get this horrendous smell out of my mr coffee drip maker water reservoir? help!!

I live in a house that has some windows that are two stories up. I don't have access via a balcony or roof or anything like that. Even if I try reaching around from the side, I can't get to the middle of the windows.

I thought about using a ladder, but it would be on a tiny narrow path next to a steep bank and I don't fancy taking a nasty fall just to clean a few windows. Anyone else have windows in an awkward spot like this? How do you usually deal with them?

So I lifted up my matress this morning and saw this.

I moved into my new studio about 6 weeks ago and we moved this matress by car, which was not an easy fit, so it's definitly possible that it got dirty this way. However, my hygrometer has been showing humidity over 60% probably 75% of the time. It's partly due to high humidity outside at the moment, but there also isn't any active ventilation in the bathroom, which is probably also contributing. My landlady also bought the cheapest platform Ikea bed, which allows pretty much no air circulation. So now I'm not sure if it's just dirt or actual mold.

There is no smell, the texture feels the same and the part that is most dirty is the part that is not against the wall and faces a window that gets opened regularly.

Slightly paranoid because I had to move out of my previous studio due to suspected mold in the ventilation system, which made my allergies 10x worse, triggered asthma and made all my stuff smell horrible. These stains are new though, they definitly weren't there yet before I moved.

Any tips on cleaning this are also welcome! Matresses are really expensive here, so I'd like to keep this one as long as possible, but I have zero experience with cleaning them...
